     Lueyang county is a mountainous county located in the Qing mountains in the far south of Shaanxi province, far from Xi'an, on the borders of Sichuan and Gansu provinces. It has a relatively small population—about 200,000. Before the Tang dynasty, Lueyang was occupied mostly by minority Chinese, who were defeated by the Han Chinese, and most were forced to migrate to other places.
